Id like some cranberry sauce with my

Turkey, a quick flight from cold Berlin and im sweatin it out in Istanbul. Lots of really interesting things to do and see here...ive already visited the famous Blue Mosque followed by a huge underground Cistern and 'The Grand Bazaar' (think there's a famous Tea Party song named after it). Ive seen all sorts of buildings on my trip, but nothing prepared me for the awe i experienced seeing the blue mosque for the first time. The bazaar was a little disappointing after visiting the soques in morocco...although larger, it was more westernized and had more tourists. I've had turkish coffee, which is about as thick as tar. Oh one last cool tidbit of info: Sultan Ibrahim (lived a few hundred years ago), got bored of his harem of 280 women and decided one day to package them up in bags and threw them in the river. Times have changed, and things are a little better for women here. That reminds me, today i saw a woman wearing a Burberry headscarf.
